He also spoke in Greek and quoted Socrates. Interesting. I guess Johnson has switched strategies and stopped playing dumb. Or maybe he only plays dumbs when in the UK

[@todddyer6059]

He played dumb when there a scandal ever time

Delivery was a bit off but the sentiment is appreciated

This speech was right on 😂

[@Almost-Nothing]

The part you left out is he saying that a cleaner energy will be cheaper.

[@Echo81Rumple83]

exactly. what's more lucrative than selling a lot of cheap, useful things than a small handful of luxury items only a few can only get?
Here's an example: by making approx. $1000 in only 6 hours, Would You Rather:
--sell lots of small but very popular items that everyone wants and can afford?
--or--
--one very expensive but luxurious item to a random rich dude?
it's an internal debate i've had when thinking about what to sell at a dealer's den at a convention.

i bet he quoted kermit as a bet to a friend and nothing more!

Johnson giving props to his fellow Muppets there

[@kerryn6714]

C'mon Boris, you could've quoted someone more significant than Kermit the frog. Little wonder so many people in the UK are so annoyed by you.

[@yanniskarageorgiou3573]

He did Sophocles too

I think he was doing Kermit for the Americans 🤷🏽

You have to wonder who wrote and approved that speech. Quoting Kermit the Frog is quite bizarre.

[@b.41879]

You don't get why he would refer to Kermit and "being green" when talking about green industrial revolution?

We're quoting puppets now. Good luck everyone

Did he just say kermit was unnecessarily mean to miss piggy(whom sexually assaults him)

[@Echo81Rumple83]

please don't cancel miss piggy as well; i can't keep up with all the PC bullshite as it is TT_TT

[@thursdaykat27]

I caught that as well. Maybe he identifies more with Miss Piggy's overbearing arrogance and thinks that people like Kermit (who consistently rejects her advances), are the ones being rude.

[@16driver16]

@@Echo81Rumple83 they don't make her actions out to be good or stereotypical. She gets what she has coming in the show and people treat her like she's doing something wrong. Thats not what you cancel characters for...

[@Vangough792]

All brings a bit of humour into his speeches 😂

[@xyzaxy230]

I can't understand how he can correct from "terrifying" to "awesome" instead of "terrific".

[@722Moo]

Boris Johnson the man

[@Ichigo187]

DaFuq?

[@nate-bc9zw]

I think quoting Kermit makes him appear more relatable and down to earth, as opposed to quoting another philosopher or writer no ones ever heard of like every other politician. I don’t necessarily like the guy, I just think it’s nice to change things up a little. Using that phrase certainly brought attention to his message, case in point.

What an odd speech

[@sprybug]

Thank about it Americans. Boris is further left than a lot of our politicians, and HE'S A CONSERVATIVE in the UK. I've been saying for YEARS that the political spectrum in the US has shifted so far to the right. Even a lot of the democrats are center right.

[@nifralo2752]

Oh yeah Obama believes in things that would make you unelectable in the UK like death penalty and gun ownership
